Summary:
The 36618 zip code area in Alabama is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Orchard Elementary School and Forest Hill Elementary School) and 1 middle school (CL Scarborough Model Middle School). These schools serve a high-need population, with 82.91% to 93.63% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools, Forest Hill Elementary School outperforms the Mobile County and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across grades 3-5, and has the lowest student-teacher ratio (16.4) among the 3 schools. Orchard Elementary School performs better than the other elementary school in math proficiency, particularly in grades 4 and 5, and has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
However, the data reveals significant performance gaps between the schools and the county/state averages, particularly in math and science. All 3 schools perform significantly below the county and state averages in these subjects. Chronic absenteeism rates are also high, ranging from 14.8% to 14.8% across the schools. These challenges suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes in the 36618 zip code area.
